We arrived here in Carolina Beach yesterday and decided to stay over an extra day and rest up as well as ride bikes through the town. Also, since it's Sunday, there will be more boats on the water. This is definitely a beach community and reminded us a lot of Port Aransas, Texas.
We were on our way to this marina yesterday when Mike saw a guy on the dock waving at him. He thought he was being friendly and waved back. All of a sudden, he came over the radio with "this is a no wake zone! Please slow down!". Well, Mike immediately slowed down as he hadn't seen the sign and was getting ready to apologize via the radio when he came on again and said "trawler trash". We were pretty shocked but it's been a joke that we're not trailer trash but trawler trash. Oh well......
We plan to leave tomorrow and head about 50 miles north.
Beginning in the Spring of 2011, this is a story of a journey in our 36' Heritage East Trawler as we cruise The Great Loop, a circumnavigation of Eastern North America, along the shoreline of the United States and Canada - truly a trip of a lifetime.
